No secret, it’s always better to be part of the change, not being disrupted by it, and my blog tagline does say “Disruptive is beautiful”. I doubt that there’s anyone to disagree with me on the structural changes in how new companies are being built today and how that’s echoing on the investment side of the table.

I’ve been around European tech hubs feeling in the vibe when meeting investors and helping startups, and to say the least, it’s buzzing. To get a good look what’s buzzing on the other side of the Atlantic, what better place to do that than in Boston next week. Angel Bootcamp and TechStars Boston Demo Day – two great events addressing and executing on the change.

Angel Bootcamp in Boston the 14th is bringing together massive amount of talent to discuss and share advice on the changing landscape of angel investing. Just one look at the speaker listJon Pierce of Betahouse in Boston has put together, and you know you should be there!

Yet Angel Investing is being disrupted. You’ve all noticed, we live in a new age of velocity and transparency. Entrepreneurs now choose who they want to work with from a global roster of strongly branded Angels that they can access through tools like Angellist. Are you ready, can you cope ?

Companies are being built differently. Lean startups, fast iteration, data driven decision making. Do you know all you need to know about how entrepreneurs are leveraging the cloud and technology standards to do more faster ?

Investment themes are different. Opportunity sets are evolving faster than ever, and this time it’s global. Come learn about trends that will shape the Eastern Seaboard ecosystem in years to come.

Besides from that it’s going to be huge, I’d like to add three obvious reasons:

TechStars Boston Demo Day

“This feels to me like the strongest class we’ve had in Boston so far and might be the one of the strongest TechStars classes overall.”

I’m eager to see how this class is to disrupt the market, and especially excited about how GrabCad, that pulled off the hat trick of being accepted both into Seedcamp and TechStars simultaneously, has elevated its business since our last meeting at Mini Seedcamp London in January. Yes, they did get my vote. And yes, they’re from Estonia.

If that’s not excitement enough, TechStars is throwing an after party with Coolio as sugar on top!
